Manufacturer’s product description
The KingCamp flannel sleeping bag is a high-quality blanket sleeping bag for use when camping, hiking, at festivals or as a guest bed at home. It is ideal for outdoor activities in cooler seasons, as it has a comfort temperature of 12°C and an extreme temperature of -8°C. Measuring 220 x 100 cm, the XXL sleeping bag offers plenty of room to move around and weighs only 2.1 kg, making it easy to transport.
In tests, it impressed with its warm flannel lining, which ensures a high level of comfort, and its practical two-way zip with anti-snag protection. In addition to excellent thermal insulation, the product also offers excellent ventilation options.
However, even better water repellency in heavy rain would have been desirable, as a minimal film of moisture forms. On the negative side, it reaches its limits in extreme sub-zero temperatures, which could make it unsuitable for winter conditions.
Overall, the winter sleeping bag offers good value for money and comes with a compressible bag, making it ideal for long trips.
Advantages
- High thermal insulation
- Great freedom of movement

At Testengel GmbH, we thoroughly examined the KingCamp flannel sleeping bag for its first impression, starting with the packaging and contents. The sturdy cardboard box reliably protects the product from transport damage without using excessive material – a plus point for sustainability. Unnecessary packaging waste has been deliberately avoided, with a protective plastic film protecting the sleeping bag from moisture and dirt. This underlines an environmentally conscious approach, as recyclable materials are prioritised. The package contents are complete and include the sleeping bag itself and a practical storage bag that makes it easy to compress. Although the product is largely self-explanatory, useful instructions are included, providing tips on care, opening the zip and optimal use at different temperatures. These instructions are clearly structured and multilingual, making them easy to understand for international users. Overall, the packaging conveys professionalism and quality, which immediately makes the camping sleeping bag appealing. We recommend recycling the plastic film after unpacking to further promote sustainability.

At Prüfengel GmbH, we attach great importance to the haptic and visual evaluation of products such as the KingCamp flannel sleeping bag. The attractive design immediately catches the eye on first contact: the outer layer made of robust polyester looks modern and functional, while the inner layer with a beautiful cotton flannel pattern creates a cosy atmosphere. This makes the XXL sleeping bag not only practical but also aesthetically appealing for outdoor activities. The workmanship is of a high standard – seams are clean and double-reinforced, with no loose threads or irregularities, promising durability. In terms of stability, the sleeping bag can withstand stress, whether from pulling on the zip or compression inside the bag; the thick filling retains its shape. The sustainability of the product is particularly positive: high-quality recycled materials are used, which minimises the ecological footprint and makes the camping sleeping bag attractive to environmentally conscious consumers. Overall, the sleeping bag feels premium, weighing exactly 2.1 kg, which makes it easy to handle. A little tip: store it in a well-ventilated place to preserve the flannel quality in the long term.

In comprehensive practical testing by Prüfengel GmbH, we thoroughly tested the KingCamp flannel sleeping bag for compliance with the manufacturer’s specifications. The material quality and workmanship proved to be flawless: no defects such as tears or loose seams occurred, even after repeated use. The water repellency works well, although a minimal film of moisture forms on the surface when wet – however, this does not affect the comfort inside. In terms of transportability, the dimensions correspond exactly to the specified 38 x 24 x 24 cm, making the sleeping bag ideal for backpacking. The weight of 2.1 kg was also confirmed, which makes it easy to handle on long trips. The ease of cleaning and care was also impressive: after a gentle machine wash at a low temperature, there were no changes in shape or colour; the flannel lining remained soft and intact. Overall, the manufacturer keeps its promises. For optimal results, we recommend airing the sleeping bag regularly. This test underlines the reliability of the product for end consumers.
